Using CDO when spaces exist in file paths?

Is there a way to use CDO when file paths have spaces in them? I always avoid them, but I'm working with a lot of data that has them.

The following does not work when I try it:

cdo timmean "foo foo.nc" out.nc

This seems to be parsed by CDO as

cdo timmean [foo foo.nc] out.nc

Is there a work around for this?

Regards

Hi Robert,

I tried different choices without success. I recommend to write a simple script where your can make a list with the name of the folders like

path_folder=`pwd`'/'*
 for x in $path_folder;
 do
  if [ -d "${x}" ]; then
  echo ${x}
  cd x
  cdo blablabla.nc pepe.nc
  fi
 done
Kind regards,

Estanislao

@Robert this behavior is standard shell handling of quoted stings. thats why cdo does handles "foo foo.nc" as a single thing. The question for me is more like: Why do you want to do something like this? Do you use blank in file names?
